The first reports from the Marine Corps to the press in November 2005 stated that the deaths were all due to the IED going off. The evidence at hand says otherwise, including the photographs that so many are upset that the press got ahold of.

When the witness says one thing, and the event scene photographs say something else, that witness gets to be a suspect.

Once upon a time, Free Republic routinely pointed out the mismatch between what the federal government said and what other evidence said (Waco, etc.) FReepers worked tirelessly to keep stuff from going down the memory hole.

Now, FReepers complain about the memory hole being out of order.

We're all quite aware of the details of the case. Perhaps you'll soon be up to speed, Detective.

The first reports from the Marine Corps to the press in November 2005 stated that the deaths were all due to the IED going off. The evidence at hand says otherwise, including the photographs that so many are upset that the press got ahold of. When the witness says one thing, and the event scene photographs say something else, that witness gets to be a suspect.

And an investigation should be launched. And it was. And it is not complete. And you take some press reports which fit your agenda as Gospel, and dismiss others. But you promote them as fact, while others here prefer to wait for the investigation's details, and pray that U.S. Marines did not commit the atrocious crimes of which they are accused.

Once upon a time you used to use a term - "Semper Fidelis." Remember what that means?

And if FR has fallen from its previous great heights, perhaps you can post another opus, Poo-, err, PaleHorse.
